this defeat means nothing.........nothing at all I tell you..........the clay god has already put it behind him and so should all of you.........besides, it's clear he was injured but continued to play anyway like the Spartan king he is.........pathetic blind breed celebrating as if their god ballerina reached #1 again.........which of course he won't.........he could only do it in the first place because his era was the weakest ever.........don't you agree with me hercules........

Priceless
